Researchers discovered how to lower dangerous cholesterol without relying on damaged receptors, offering hope to 1 in 200 adults with a common genetic disorder. The breakthrough uses human liver cells to test compounds that stop cholesterol particles from forming in the first place.
Expectant parents can now enroll in a groundbreaking trial that treats Fanconi anemia before birth, potentially preventing devastating complications without harsh side effects. Stanford researchers are infusing healthy stem cells from mothers to their babies in the womb.
Scientists created artificial human intestines that can spot which medications will cause gut problems before people take them, potentially saving patients from painful side effects. The breakthrough could prevent drug trials from failing and reduce animal testing.
Scientists at Stanford Medicine eliminated Type 1 diabetes in mice for six months without insulin shots or immune-suppressing drugs. The breakthrough uses an "immune system reset" that could transform treatment for millions living with autoimmune diseases.
Stanford Medicine researchers reversed Type 1 diabetes in mice using a groundbreaking dual transplant that resets the immune system. The animals stayed diabetes-free for six months without insulin or immune suppressing drugs.
Scientists created a mini human spinal cord in the lab and successfully treated it with a groundbreaking therapy that regrew nerve fibers and erased scar tissue. This breakthrough brings real hope to millions living with spinal cord injuries.
A new stem cell research center at a public hospital in Hyderabad aims to make cutting-edge regenerative therapy affordable for everyday patients. The facility will manufacture clinical-grade stem cells for trials targeting liver failure and other life-threatening conditions.
